SUMMIT — Newbridge Crossing, an 18-home subdivision in
the village, recently broke ground on Waterville Road,
just east of lower Nemahbin Lake and adjacent to the
city of Delafield.

The
project is being built on a 19-acre site. Nearly half of
the land will be set aside as conservancy and open
space.

In a
press statement, project owner William Toson said he has
been working with neighbors and Summit officials for
more than three years to come up with a design that
enhances property values and addresses everyone’s
concerns.

The
architecture involved will be limited to an English and
French country theme, according to the statement.

“Individual home owners will be relieved of the
responsibilities for snow removal and landscape
maintenance — thus making the community appealing to
snowbirds and those who are simply tired of doing these
chores,” Toson said.

All
of the infrastructure including sanitary sewers, curbs,
gutter, roads and landscaping are expected to be
completed by late fall. Actual home construction will
begin shortly thereafter depending on weather.
